Julie herself admits that the team's cohesiveness, in addition to their superior fitness which helps them outrun most other teams, and their coaching, has been a vital factor in the team's phenomenal 11-0 success. Naturally she takes no credit for that cohesiveness, emphasizing that it derives from the dedication of each individual member of the team...
...between Republic Sen. Edward Brooke and Democratic Challenger Paul Tsongas has lacked much of the candor and opportunism found in the gubernatorial race. Both men have campaigned professionally, sticking with the issues and rising above personalities. But still there are sharp differences. Brooke, the sleek Washington insider, deserves great credit for his leadership in the fight for human services and rights, especially in the areas of federal housing and abortion rights. But there is the other side of Ed Brooke; the manipulative politician with an abysmal consumer voting record who has garnered tens of thousands of dollars in contributions from...
...Japan's export-oriented economy to a China in desperate need to acquire modern technology and expertise. Still, the Japanese business community wonders how the Chinese will pay for their gigantic import program. Since the early 1970s, China has been making most of its major purchases from Japan on credit. Because Peking has inadequate foreign-currency reserves, the Japanese must either grant loans or buy Chinese oil. Both solutions present pitfalls for Japan. Peking has hinted it wants the type of cheap loans, repayable over 30 to 40 years at 2% to 4% interest, that Japan makes to developing countries...
...changes are sweeping the croplands, making agriculture an increasingly capital-intensive, hightechnology, mass-production business. As a result, U.S. farmers are dividing into two distinct classes. Small farmers, who do not have the technical expertise, are rapidly leaving the land. Large farmers, like Benedict, who know how to use credit and the latest in agricultural science, are gaining an ever greater share of the market. They produce most of the food that the U.S. eats and almost all that it sells to the world...
Caltech alumni give much credit for their school's achievements to its small size, which allows scientists in different disciplines to know each other well. Frequently, interdisciplinary research projects are first sketched over lunch at the Athenaeum, an elegant faculty club with a high-beamed Spanish-style ceiling at the campus' east end. Academically, the school deliberately remains narrower than, say, M.I.T., which is noted for such nonscientific departments as linguistics and economics. At Caltech the focus is on engineering and basic research in the "hard" sciences, especially physics, astronomy, biology, chemistry and seismology. Nuts-and-bolts technology gets little...
